Ack. Just the vbus_work is sufficient as vbus can be updated to the
latest value.
Addressing in v5.

Sure, uploaded as a separate patch in v5.
However, I named it allow_start instead as I believe that UDC should
neither be started nor pulled up when unbound.
Let me know your thoughts in v5 !

Ack. Dropping vbus_event and related fields.

Simplified as you recommended to directly call
usb_udc_connect_control() from the work item. So, this is no longer an
issue.

Ack. v5 now does this.
